I have completed my first #embroidery project. My wife got me this for my birthday because I wanted to learn some basic stitches to use for mending. The shop was going out of business so there were several sets on sale, and this one had a good variety of stitches (satin, back, lazy daisy, and double-wrapped French knot). I freehanded my initials, and I think they turned out okay.

A circular hoop with white cloth stretched inside it. In the middle it says "Choose HAPPY" in green back stitch for the first word and red satin stitch for the second. Around the words are leaves of varying shades of green and flowers in purples, reds, and yellows. A small green JVB is stitched along a leaf at the bottom.

#Knitting magazine as investment?

Saw this magazine yesterday and noticed, that it's now 4 times the original prize

I couldn't find out, when this originally came out but going by the title and models inside I think it's from the 1950ies

I liked the title model, but didn't get the mag because working from a vintage pattern is difficult enough. Working from one where you don't speak the language doesn't make this easier. And automated translation - bad idea.

Foto of a vintage knitting magazine called "Strikke nyt no 6" The original prize was 1.25 Kronen, now it's sold for 5 Kronen at a thrift shop. The title model is a young woman in a knit sweater with a wide turtle neck. The front is heavily gathered at the beginning of the neck and has a keyhole opening. Sweater is a raglan construction with rather wide arms that are gathered at the cuffs. The sweater looks like it's made from rather fine yarn. The women holds a typical pose for the time, with her hands at her hips and a feisty expression.

Ein weiterer Monat beendet. Der Mai war relativ warm, mit ein paar drastischen Temperaturveränderungen.
Mal einen Schritt zurück gehen und das ganze betrachten gibt nochmal ein ganz anderes Bild.
Wenn ich dran arbeite bin ich ja immer sehr viel näher dran.

Eine Kreuzsticharbeit auf schwarzem Aida Stoff. Zu sehen sind kleine Flaschen die 5 Regalbretter füllen. Darunter befinden sich weitere leere Regalbretter. Die kleinen Flaschen sind in unterschiedlichen Farben gestickt was einen Farbverlauf ergibt. Von einem kalten Blau, Türkies und Grün, über warmes Grün bis zu überwiegend Gelb. Am linken Rand befindet sich ein "Needle minder" in Form eines Schmetterlings.
Die selbe Kreuzsticharbeit mit dem Fokus auf die gefüllten fünf Regalbretter. Die Formen und Farbflächen in den Flaschen sind deutlicher zu erkennen. Von Reagenzglas Größe bis zu massiven Flaschen ist alles dabei. Viele der Flaschen habe sehr lange Hälse.

I set up my new Daedalus Starling espinner and have been using it for the last 2 days. It took me a bit to figure out some of the quirks, like how to set up the tensioning, thread the leader, align the bobbin versus the motor and the front piece, and use the guides appropriately. Using it is a joy so far - fast, smooth, and enjoyable. I chose Shaniko for my first spin on her and it’s going well. #HandSpinning #FiberArts

Thrift store find today.

Anybody know, what brand those are? It's two different sizes, without measuring probably 2 mm and 2.5 mm, the spiral pattern on the thinner ones is "denser", they are metal and rather heavy, 20 cm and the pattern starts about 2 cm being the tips.

I bought them out of curiosity, at 20 cm they are longer than I prefer my DPN's but I've never seen needle like that...

The same needles, this time they are completely in the picture.

My Masterplan is to make more Shroomies in a Rainbow of colors. Little Yellow Hat here saw me using SC yarn under and me realizing that there are better decrease techniques than the one I used so far. I finally got the amount of stuffing in the cap right. Also, sewing has improved.
As much as I'm itching to make more, I should probably work on a different project to give my hands some rest....

Pattern: Mushroom Guy by Stephanie Buckner (Critter Stitch)

A crocheted plush toy resembling a cute mushroom character. The toy has a soft, rounded body in muted white with two small arms and legs. It features a smiling face with black eyes and a stitched mouth. On its head is a large, bright yellow mushroom cap with light gray frilly edges underneath, resembling gills. The toy sits on a woven gray surface with a plain light background.

So, my grandmother used to crochet around styrofoam balls to make shapes. I'm thinking the same crochet method could be adapted around a more solid object (let's say a golf ball), and then the chain made long enough to create a #bolas (attaching more crocheted balls). Of course, one would want to use something stronger than yarn... Not quite sure what would work best (hemp fibers?)...
